Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM2 PP3_Moderate PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000518.5(HBB):​c.205C>T​(p.Leu69Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L69P) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

HBB (HGNC:4827): (hemoglobin subunit beta) The alpha (HBA) and beta (HBB) loci determine the structure of the 2 types of polypeptide chains in adult hemoglobin, Hb A. The normal adult hemoglobin tetramer consists of two alpha chains and two beta chains. Mutant beta globin causes sickle cell anemia. Absence of beta chain causes beta-zero-thalassemia. Reduced amounts of detectable beta globin causes beta-plus-thalassemia. The order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is 5'-epsilon -- gamma-G -- gamma-A -- delta -- beta--3'.

The Hb Loves Park variant (HBB: c.205C>T; p.Leu69Phe, also known as Leu68Phe when numbered from the mature protein, rs33961459, HbVar ID: 375) is reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with microcytic anemia and in one individual with mild cyanosis (Ferreira 2006, HbVar database and references therein). In one instance, this variant was observed in an affected proband but was not found in either parent despite demonstrated parentage, indicating a de novo origin (Ferreira 2006). This variant has been reported as stable with decreased oxygen affinity. This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 15613) and is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The leucine at codon 69 is highly conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.742). Additionally, another amino acid substitution at this codon (p.Leu69Pro, also known as Hb Mizuho, HbVar ID: 373) has been reported de novo in multiple individuals with hemolytic anemia and is considered disease-causing (HbVar database and references therein). Based on available information, the Hb Loves Park variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Link to HbVar: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/hbvar.html Ferreira C et al.
